Our Take

Are you ready for a wild ride through the musical cosmos? Strap yourself in, because King Crimson's "In The Wake Of Poseidon" is a rollercoaster of sonic delights that will leave you breathless and begging for more.

From the opening notes of the title track, you know you're in for something special. The band's unique blend of progressive rock, jazz, and experimental sounds creates a truly mind-bending listening experience. Each track on the album takes you on a journey through different musical landscapes, from the ethereal beauty of "Pictures of a City" to the frenetic energy of "Cat Food."

But it's not just the music that sets King Crimson apart – their lyrics are just as thought-provoking and enigmatic. With themes ranging from mythology to existentialism, each song on "In The Wake Of Poseidon" is a puzzle waiting to be unravelled.

And let's not forget about the musicianship on display here. Robert Fripp's guitar work is nothing short of genius, while Ian McDonald's saxophone adds a layer of sophistication to the band's sound. And of course, no review of King Crimson would be complete without mentioning the explosive drumming of Michael Giles.

So, do yourself a favour and dive into the weird and wonderful world of King Crimson. "In The Wake Of Poseidon" is a masterpiece that demands to be heard – just make sure you're prepared for a musical experience like no other.

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
